SEC Coach of the Year: John Calipari (Cal may be expected to win big, but winning a conference title in his first year in a tougher conference with a bunch of new, albeit extremely talented players, would net him the award)

SEC Player of the Year: Jarvis Varnado (No player in the league means more to their team's success than Varnado)

Jeff Lebo's job security is 50/50 in my opinion. Will a second straight NIT trip be enough to earn him one more year?
